Age of Ultron The Official Quicksilver thread

[DarthSkywalker]

All I know is I put a bit more faith in Joss in getting the casting and character right on this one.

My feeling is the Avengers script is just going to be rewritten. Without Quicksilver, I doubt Scarlet Witch will be included.They'll just be like Wasp for Avengers. Characters who were included in the initial draft, but not the final product. This is no way indicates a shared universe.

 

[Shikamaru]

Why would they rewrite the script when they have the rights to use the character? It doesn't really make sense.

 

[Quasimod0]

Kind of a jerk move by fox. If this frees up the roster for BP or ms marvel or the Pyms though, then it's all okay

 

[Da Games Elite]

This. Let us not forget Mark Millar, the man in charge of helping Fox with there cbms moving foward, stated that he would love for the universes to be shared, crossovers or not.

Yeah, it's kind of important also to note that there have been talks of having all the Marvel films cooperating in some way.

By having X-Men characters in an Avengers film, but having the X-Men feature said characters first, that establishes a link that side-steps all the awkward explanations that could lead to rights issues.

I don't see why everyone here is just assuming that Fox and Marvel are trying to screw each other over. They both can use the characters...

I pretty sure it's been stated that whoever uses Quicksilver or Scarlet Witch first, keeps them. Meaning Quicksilver cannot appear in A2 after being used in Days of Future Past.

Ever since the record-annihilating opening weekend of "The Avengers" last year, I've been hearing speculation and questions about whether or not other studios who have the rights to certain Marvel characters would end up trying to strike a deal with Disney and Marvel Studios to include those characters in some sort of cross-over situation that would allow them to appear in a future "Avengers" film.

At the moment, I would not bet on that happening with 20th Century Fox.

This is not a situation where the two different companies are working together to try and create a sense of a larger shared world. In fact, if either of them could get the other to back off, they would. The thing is, Bryan Singer has designed a sequence that he feels only works with Quicksilver, and Joss Whedon feels that there is a pressing reason for Quicksilver to show up in "The Avengers 2," and so what we're going to see is a legally-negotiated stand-off in which we'll get two totally different versions of one character. While they may act like things are amicable in public, HitFix sources say otherwise.

lol, So Fox beat Marvel to the punch with Viper, now it's Quicksilver.

Dayum.

 

[Rock Sexton]

Oh this is going to be good ....

The "shared universe" dreamers are going to be nonstop now. Ignoring logic that Fox simply beat them to the punch.

 

[venom892]

So we are going to get two Quicksilvers?

 

[Chewy]

So we are going to get two Quicksilvers?

Yes.

 

[Silvermoth]

That's a disgusting trick on fox's part. They literally ran in and grabbed any actor they could find just to try and cash in on the avengers. He's not even a British actor.

I bet he serves no purpose at all to the story. They can go f*** themselves

 

[Rock Sexton]

So we are going to get two Quicksilvers?

Would be utterly ridiculous. It's not like Quicksilver is the key to an entire A2 storyline. Whedon's a better writer than that.

 

[venom892]

I had hope for DOFP, But now it is looking really cluttered.Despite merging what's left of the OT cast and the important players from First class, it is also adding Bishop, Blink, Warpath and now Quicksilver.No way every one gets fleshed out.

 

[Chewy]

Would be utterly ridiculous. It's not like Quicksilver is the key to an entire A2 storyline. Whedon's a better writer than that.

It's really not that big a deal. Singer apparently wants to use him for one action sequence only, Whedon plans to use him as a major character in the movie.

If this finally puts an end to the "multi-studio shared universe!" fanwank I'm all for it

 

[Shikamaru]

Anyone else even more annoyed with WB than before with these recent Quicksilver news? The only thing sadder than Quicksilver appearing in live-action before Flash is having two different versions of Quicksilver appear in live-action before Flash.

Make that Flash movie already, WB!

I pretty sure it's been stated that whoever uses Quicksilver or Scarlet Witch first, keeps them. Meaning Quicksilver cannot appear in A2 after being used in Days of Future Past.

I haven't heard that. I specifically remember reading an interview with Feige where he was asked if they had the rights to use certain characters like Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, the Kree, and the Skrulls. He specifically said that those certain characters like those are in a "grey shaded area" meaning that both studios share the rights to them. If it was true that only the first studio that uses them has the rights to them, he would've said that.

What is going to be utterly ridiculous is when Whedon kills it with his interpretation of the siblings.

how much are the original cast in it for anyway? I assumed they probably only have limited screentime before getting killed off like in the comic, besides the time traveler of course

Three, apparently he had a cameo in that Wolverine movie. According to the X-boards, at least

I agree. From rumors, It would seem Black Panther is also in A2 and I would think more central to the plot. I would replace Wanda with Wasp and spread the Quicksilver screen time around to the other characters. But I don't know anything Whedon has planned, so maybe he feels that Quicksilver is important to the story he is trying to tell.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

It's really not that big a deal. Singer apparently wants to use him for one action sequence only, Whedon plans to use him as a major character in the movie.

Singer feels that QS is necessary for an action sequence in the movie. Doesn't mean he won't be a prominent character in DOFP in addition.

I kind of agree. Depends on what fox is doing with him. I'd rather whedon not use quicksilver and SW now though

If this were true, you know what would happen right?

TDW or TWS post-credit Scarlett Witch/Quicksliver scene.

McWeeny says he'll only be used in one action sequence. From the article

He's shooting first, so presumably, he will win the showdown in terms of being the first to define the character on film. Marvel has larger plans for the character, though, and wants to use him for more than just one action sequence.

I hope joss sticks with his script and has quicksilver and scarlet
